One of the cheapest oils with suitable ACEA C3 grading is GM Dexos 2 5W-30. Nowadays it doesn't have the BMW LL-04 approval like it used to, but I personally don't care about that. (For example regarding Castrol oils being previous OEM oil supplier no longer have BMW approval even if the oil is exactly the same.)

Thanks clavurion and attacking-mid for input, hmmm dpf I have no idea if I have it installed , or what facelift variant i have EU3 OR EU4? from spec sheet bmw sent is it 3.0 no dpf?
